Editing Sexual fluidity (section)

====General====
One study by Steven E. Mock and Richard P. Eibach from 2011 shows 2% of 2,560 adult participants included in ''National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States'' reported change of sexual orientation identities after a 10-year period: 0.78% of male and 1.36% of female persons that identified themselves to be [[Heterosexuality|heterosexuals]] at the beginning of the 10-year period, as well as 63.6% of lesbians, 64.7% of bisexual females, 9.52% of gay males, and 47% of bisexual males. According to the study, "this pattern was consistent with the hypothesis that heterosexuality is a more stable sexual orientation identity, perhaps because of its [[Heteronormativity|normative status]]. However, male homosexual identity, although less stable than heterosexual identity, was relatively stable compared to the other sexual minority identities". Having only adults included in the examined group, they did not find the differences in fluidity which were affected by age of the participants. However, they stated that "research on attitude stability and change suggests most change occurs in adolescence and young adulthood (Alwin & Krosnick, 1991; Krosnick & Alwin, 1989), which could explain the diminished impact of age after that point".<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Mock | first1 = Steven E. | last2 = Eibach | first2 = Richard P. | year = 2011 | title = Stability and Change in Sexual Orientation Identity Over a 10-Year Period in Adulthood | journal = Archives of Sexual Behavior | volume= 41 | issue = 3| pages = 641–648 | doi=10.1007/s10508-011-9761-1|url=http://midus.wisc.edu/findings/pdfs/1153.pdf | pmid=21584828| s2cid = 15771368 }}</ref>
